For a campaign designed by Fuenfwerken Design for Weber-Stephen Germany we contributed the Weber Chalk typeface. The typeface should consist only of capital letters with narrow proportions, while conveying a “rough” imperfect attitude. What mattered most with Weber Chalk was to preserve a fine chalk-ish feel in display sizes above 10 centimeters in letter height. This quality is precisely what existing “chalk” fonts lack, since they’re usually designed for far smaller sizes. In order to emphasize the handwritten character of Weber Chalk, we decided to draw every letter twice. By mixing upper and lower case letters one can achieve a livelier image. We created all characters needed for Pan-European language support and generated three fonts for the three different scripts Latin, Cyrillic and Greek.
